rust: transmute: add
`FromBytes::from_bytes` comes with a few practical limitations:
- It requires the bytes slice to have the same alignment as the returned
type, which might not be guaranteed in the case of a byte stream,
- It returns a reference, requiring the returned type to implement
`Clone` if one wants to keep the value for longer than the lifetime of
the slice.
To overcome these when needed, add a `from_bytes_copy` with a default
implementation in the trait. `from_bytes_copy` returns an owned value
that is populated using an unaligned read, removing the lifetime
constraint and making it usable even on non-aligned byte slices.
